BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to heat transfer compositions, and in particular to heat transfer compositions which may be suitable as replacements for existing refrigerants such as R-134a, R-152a, R-1234yf, R-22, R-410A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R507 and R-404a.

The listing or discussion of a prior-published document or any background in the specification should not necessarily be taken as an acknowledgement that a document or background is part of the state of the art or is common general knowledge. Mechanical refrigeration systems and related heat transfer devices such as heat pumps and air-conditioning systems are well known. In such systems, a refrigerant evaporates at low pressure taking heat from the surrounding zone. The resulting vapour is then compressed and passed to a condenser where it condenses and gives off heat to a second zone, the condensate being returned through an expansion valve to the evaporator, so completing the cycle. Mechanical energy required for compressing the vapour and pumping the liquid is provided by, for example, an electric motor or an internal combustion engine.

In addition to having a suitable boiling point and a high latent heat of vaporisation, the properties preferred in a refrigerant include low toxicity, non-flammability, non-corrosivity, high stability and freedom from objectionable odour. Other desirable properties are ready compressibility at pressures below 25 bars, low discharge temperature on compression, high refrigeration capacity, high efficiency (high coefficient of performance) and an evaporator pressure in excess of 1 bar at the desired evaporation temperature.

Dichlorodifluoromethane (refrigerant R-12) possesses a suitable combination of properties and was for many years the most widely used refrigerant. Due to international concern that fully and partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbons were damaging the earth's protective ozone layer, there was general agreement that their manufacture and use should be severely restricted and eventually phased out completely. The use of dichlorodifluoromethane was phased out in the 1990's.

Chlorodifluoromethane (R-22) was introduced as a replacement for R-12 because of its lower ozone depletion potential. Following, concerns that R-22 is a potent greenhouse gas, its use is also being phased out.

Whilst heat transfer devices of the type to which the present invention relates are essentially closed systems, loss of refrigerant to the atmosphere can occur due to leakage during operation of the equipment or during maintenance procedures. It is important, therefore, to replace fully and partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants by materials having zero ozone depletion potentials.

In addition to the possibility of ozone depletion, it has been suggested that significant concentrations of halocarbon refrigerants in the atmosphere might contribute to global warming (the so-called greenhouse effect). It is desirable, therefore, to use refrigerants which have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes as a result of their ability to react with other atmospheric constituents such as hydroxyl radicals or as a result of ready degradation through photolytic processes.

R-410A and R-407 refrigerants (including R-407A, R-407B and R-407C) have been introduced as a replacement refrigerant for R-22. However, R-22, R-410A and the R-407 refrigerants all have a high global warming potential (GWP, also known as greenhouse warming potential).

1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (refrigerant R-134a) was introduced as a replacement refrigerant for R-12. However, despite having no significant ozone depletion potential, R-134a has a GWP of 1300. It would be desirable to find replacements for R-134a that have a lower GWP.

R-152a (1,1-difluoroethane) has been identified as an alternative to R-134a. It is somewhat more efficient than R-134a and has a greenhouse warming potential of 120. However the flammability of R-152a is judged too high, for example to permit its safe use in mobile air conditioning systems. In particular it is believed that its lower flammable limit in air is too low, its flame speeds are too high, and its ignition energy is too low.

Thus there is a need to provide alternative refrigerants having improved properties such as low flammability. Fluorocarbon combustion chemistry is complex and unpredictable. It is not always the case that mixing a non-flammable fluorocarbon with a flammable fluorocarbon reduces the flammability of the fluid or reduces the range of flammable compositions in air. For example, the inventors have found that if non-flammable R-134a is mixed with flammable R-152a, the lower flammable limit of the mixture alters in a manner which is not predictable. The situation is rendered even more complex and less predictable if ternary or quaternary compositions are considered.

There is also a need to provide alternative refrigerants that may be used in existing devices such as refrigeration devices with little or no modification.

R-1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) has been identified as a candidate alternative refrigerant to replace R-134a in certain applications, notably the mobile air conditioning or heat pumping applications. Its GWP is about 4. R-1234yf is flammable but its flammability characteristics are generally regarded as acceptable for some applications including mobile air conditioning or heat pumping. In particular, when compared with R-152a, its lower flammable limit is higher, its minimum ignition energy is higher and the flame speed in air is significantly lower than that of R-152a.

The environmental impact of operating an air conditioning or refrigeration system, in terms of the emissions of greenhouse gases, should be considered with reference not only to the so-called “direct” GWP of the refrigerant, but also with reference to the so-called “indirect” emissions, meaning those emissions of carbon dioxide resulting from consumption of electricity or fuel to operate the system. Several metrics of this total GWP impact have been developed, includina those known as Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI) analysis, or Life-Cycle Carbon Production (LCCP) analysis. Both of these measures include estimation of the effect of refrigerant GWP and energy efficiency on overall warming impact.

The energy efficiency and refrigeration capacity of R-1234yf have been found to he significantly lower than those of R-134a and in addition the fluid has been found to exhibit increased pressure drop in system pipework and heat exchangers. A consequence of this is that to use R-1234yf and achieve energy efficiency and cooling performance equivalent to R-134a, increased complexity of equipment and increased size of pipework is required, leading to an increase in indirect emissions associated with equipment. Furthermore, the production of R-1234yf is thought to be more complex and less efficient in its use of raw materials (fluorinated and chlorinated) than R-134a. So the adoption of R-1234yf to replace R-134a will consume more raw materials and result in more indirect emissions of greenhouse gases than does R-134a.

Some existing technologies designed for R-134a may not be able to accept even the reduced flammability of some heat transfer compositions (any composition having a GWP of less than 150 is believed to be flammable to some extent).

A principal object of the present invention is therefore to provide a heat transfer composition which is usable in its own right or suitable as a replacement for existing refrigeration usages which should have a reduced GWP, yet have a capacity and enargy efficiency (which may be conveniently expressed as the “Coefficient of Performance”) ideally within 10% of the values, for example of those attained using existing refrigerants (e.g. R-134a, R-152a, R-1234yf, R-22, R-410A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R507 and R-404a), and preferably within less than 10% (e.g. about 5%) of these values. It is known in the art that differences of this order between fluids are usually resolvable by redesign of equipment and system operational features. The composition should also ideally have reduced toxicity and acceptable flammability.

By “substantially no”, we include the meaning that the compositions of the invention contain 0.5t by weight or less of the stated component, preferably 0.1% or less, based on the total weight of the composition.

The compositions of the invention may contain substantially no:

-   -   (i) 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf),     -   (ii) cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(Z)), and/or     -   (iii) 3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1243zf).

The compositions of the invention have zero ozone depletion potential.

Surprisingly, it has been found that the compositions of the invention deliver acceptable properties for use in air conditioning, heat pump and low and medium temperature refrigeration systems as alternatives to existing refrigerants such as R-22, R-410A, R-4071, R-407B, R-407C, R507 and R-404a, while reducing GWP and without resulting in high flammability hazard.

Unless otherwise stated, as used herein “low temperature refrigeration” means refrigeration having an evaporation temperature of from about −50 to about −20° C. “Medium temperature refrigeration” means refrigeration having an evaporation temperature of from about −20 to about 0° C.

Unless otherwise stated, IPCC (Intergovernmental Panei on Climate Change) TAR (Third Assessment Report) values of GWP have been used herein. The GWP of selected existing refrigerant mixtures on thls basis is as follows:

R-407A 1990 R-407B 2695 R-407C 1653 R-404A 3784 R507 3850

In an embodiment, the compositions of the invention have a GWP less than R-22, R-410A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R507 or R-404a. Conveniently, the GWP of the compositions of the invention is less than about 2800 For instance, the GWP may be less than 2800, 2500, 2300, 2100, 2000, 1900, 1800, 1700, 1500 or 1400.

Preferably, the compositions of the invention have a GWP that is less than 1500, preferably less than 1400, more preferably less than 1300, 1000, 900 or 700 or 500.

Advantageously, the compositions are of reduced flammability hazard when compared to the individual flammable components of the compositions, e.g. R-32, propene or propane.

In one aspect, the compositions have one or more of (a) a higher lower flammable limit; (b) a higher ignition energy; or (c) a lower flame velocity compared to R-32, propene, propane or R-1234yf. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions of the invention are non-flammable (or inflammable).

Flammability may be determined in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 34 incorporating the ASTM Standard E-681 with test methodology as per Addendum 34p dated 2004, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

In some applications it may not be necessary for the formulation to be classed as non-flammable by the ASHPAE 34 methodology; it is possible to develop fluids whose flammability limits will be sufficiently redped in air to render them safe for use in the application, for example if it is physically not possible to make a flammable mixture by leaking the refrigeration equipment charge into the surrounds. We have found that the effect of adding R-1234ze and R-134a/R-125 to flammable refrigerants R-32, propene and/or propane is to modify the flammability in mixtures with air in this manner.

Temperature glide, which can be thought of as the difference between bubble point and dew point temperatures of a zeotropic (non-azeotropic) mixture at constant pressure, is a characteristic of a refrigerant; if it is desired to replace a fluid with a mixture then it is often preferable to have similar or reduced glide in the alternative fluid. In an embodiment, the compositions of the invention are zeotropic.

The compositions of the invention preferably have energy efficiency at least 95% (preferably at least 98%) of R-407C, R-407A or R-404A under equivalent conditions, while having reduced or equivalent pressure drop characteristic and cooling capacity at 95% or higher of R-407C, R-407A or R-404A values. Advantageously the compositions have higher energy efficiency and lower pressure drop characteristics than R-407C, R-407A or R-404A under equivalent conditions.

In accordance with the retrofitting method described above, an existing heat transfer fluid can be fully removed from the heat transfer device before introducing a composition of the invention. An existing heat transfer fluid can also be partially removed from a heat transfer device, followed by introducing a composition of the invention.

In another embodiment wherein the existing heat transfer fluid is R-134a, and the composition of the invention contains R134a, R-1234ze(E), the second component, optionally R-125, and optionally the fourth component (and optional components such as a lubricant, a stabiliser or an additional flame retardant), R-1234ze(E), the second component, any R-125 and/or the fourth component can be added to the R-134a in the heat transfer device, thereby forming the compositions of the invention, and the heat transfer device of the invention, in situ.

Preferably, this method comprises the step of obtaining an allocation of greenhouse gas emission credit.

By environmental impact we include the generation and emission of greenhouse warming oases through operation of the product.

As mentioned above, this environmental impact can be considered as including not only those emissions of compounds or compositions having a significant environmental impact from leakage or other losses, but also including the emission of carbon dioxide arising from the energy consumed by the device over its working. life. Such environmental impact may be quantified by the measure known as Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI). This measure has been used in quantification of the environmental impact of certain stationary refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, including for example supermarket refrigeration systems (see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_equivalent_warming_impact).

The environmental impact may further be considered as including the emissions of greenhouse gases arising from the synthesis and manufacture of the compounds or compositions. In case the manufacturing emissions are added to the energy consumption and direct loss effects to yield the measure known as Life-Cycle Carbon Production (LCCP, see for example http://www.sae.org/events/aars/presentations/2007papasavva.pdf) The use of LCCP is common in assessing environmental impact of automotive air conditioning systems.

Emission credit (s) are awarded for reducing pollutant emissions that contribute to global warming and may, for example, be banked, traded or sold. They are conventionally expressed in the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. Thus if the emission of 1 kg of R-134a is avoided then an emission credit of 1×1300=1300 kg CO2 equivalent may be awarded.

In another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for generating greenhouse gas emission credit(s) comprising (i) replacing an existing compound or composition with a composition of the invention, wherein the composition of the invention has a lower GWP than the existing compound or composition; and (ii) obtaining greenhouse gas emission credit for said replacing step.

In a preferred embodiment, the use of the composition of the invention results in the equipment having a lower Total Equivalent Warming Impact, and/or a lower Life-Cycle Carbon Production than that which would be attained by use of the existing compound or composition.

These methods may be carried out on any suitable product, for example in the fields of air-conditioning, refrigeration (e.g. low and medium temperature refrigeration), heat transfer, blowing agents, aerosols or sprayable propellants, gaseous dielectrics, cryosurgery, veterinary procedures, dental procedures, fire extinguishing, flame suppression, solvents (e.g. carriers for flayprings and fragrances), cleaners, air horns, pellet guns, topical anesthetics, and expansion applications. Preferably, the field is air-conditioning or refrigeration.

Examples of suitable products include a heat transfer devices, blowing agents, foamable compositions, sprayable compositions, solvents and mechanical power generation devices. In a preferred embodiment, the product is a heat transfer device, such as a refrigeration device or an air-conditioning unit.

The existing compound or composition has an environmental impact as measured by GWP and/or TEWI and/or LCCP that is higher than the composition of the invention which replaces it. The existing compound or composition may comprise a fluorocarbon compound, such as a perfluoro-, hydrofluoro-, chlorofluoro- or hydrochlorofluoro-carbon compound or it may comprise a fluorinated olefin

Preferably, the existing compound or composition is a heat transfer compound or composition such as a refrigerant. Examples of refrigerants that may be replaced include R-134a, R-152a, R-1234yf, R-410A, R-407A, R-407B, R-407C, R-407D, R -407F, R507, R-22 and R-4044. The compositions of the invention are particularly suited as replacements for R-22, R-404A, R-407A, R-407B, R-4070 or R-410A.

Any amount of the existing compound or composition may be replaced so as to reduce the environmental impact. This may depend on the environmental impact of the existing compound or composition being replaced and the environmental impact of the replacement composition of the invention. Preferably, the existing compound or composition in the product is fully replaced by the composition of the invention.

The invention is illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.

EXAMPLES Example 1

The performance of a composition comprising R-32 30%, R-125 25%, R-134a 25% and R-1234ze(E) 20% (weight basis) was modelled for medium temperature and low temperature refrigeration applications (“Blend A”). The cycle conditions chosen were:

-   -   (a) Medium Temperature Application     -   Mean condensing temperature 40° C.     -   Mean evaporating temperature 10° C.     -   Suction line return temperature 15° C.     -   Subcooling 5K     -   Evaporator superheat 5K     -   Compressor (isentropic) efficiency 65%     -   Cooling duty 10 kW     -   Suction line pipe diameter 22.7 mm     -   (b) Low Temperature Application     -   Mean condensing temperature 40° C.     -   Mean evaporating temperature −35° C.     -   Suction line return temperature −10° C.     -   Subcooling 5K     -   Evaporator superheat 5K     -   Compressor (isentropic) efficiency 65%     -   Cooling duty 10 kW     -   Suction line pipe diameter 22.7 mm     -   Temperature for initiation of liquid injection to control         compressor temperature: 130° C.

These conditions were chosen as representative of those found in a supermarket refrigeration system with air cooled condenser in European summer conditions. The performance of Blend A is shown in Tables 1 and 2 with the estimated performance of the commercially available and commonly used refrigerants R-407C, R-407A and R-404A indicated for comparison. The capacity, energy efficiency (as Coefficient of Performance) and suction line pressure drop are compared to a baseline of R-407C, as this refrigerant has the highest theoretical COP and lowest direct GWP of the established refrigerants.

It can be seen that this composition has comparable energy efficiency than R-407C, better cooling capacity than R-407C, lower pressure drop and essentially comparable discharge temperature. Furthermore the capacity and energy efficiency of the composition is superior to R-404A. The composition has lower GWP than R-407C and so the total environmental warming impact (TEWI) of a system using this fluid will be lower than that achievable using R-407C or R-404A.

The fluid further exhibits close match of performance parameters to R-407A, which ss today finding increasing utility as a refrigerant to replace R-404A. The operating pressures are very similar to those found with R-407A, so replacement of R-407A with this composition would require little or no change to a refrigeration system control scheme.

Furthermore the composition is believed to be essentially non-flammable.

Example 2

The performance was modelled for further compositions of the invention comprising: R-32 in range 20-35% w/w; R-125 in range 15-30% w/w; R-134a in range 15-50% w/w and R-1234ze being the balance, using the same conditions as in Table 1 and with R-407C as the reference fluid for comparison of capacity, energy efficiency and suction line pressure drop. The compositions of the invention give acceptable or improved performance with lower GWP and lower overall TEWI than R-407A, R-4070 or R-404A.

Example 3

The performance was modelled for further compositions of the invention as explained in more detail below. The derivation of the model used is as follows.

The physical properties of R-1234ze(E) required to model refrigeration cycle performance, namely critical point, vapour pressure, liquid and vapour enthalpy, liquid and vapour density and heat capacities of vapour and liquid were accurately determined by experimental methods over the pressure range 0-200 bar and temperature range −40 to 200° C., and the resulting data used to generate Helmholtz free energy equation of state models of the Span-Wagner type for the fluid in the NIST REFPROP Version 8.0 software, which is more fully described in the user guide www.nist.gov/srd/PDFfiles/REFPROP8.PDF, and is incorporated herein by reference. The variation of ideal gas enthalpy of both fluids with temperature was estimated using molecular modelling software Hyperchem v7.5 (which is incorporated herein by reference) and the resulting ideal gas enthalpy function was used in the regression of the equation of state for these fluids. The predictions of this model R1234ze (E) were compared to the predictions yielded by use of the standard files for R1234ze(E) included in REFPROP Version 9.0. It was found that close agreement was obtained for each fluid's properties.

The vapour liquid equilibrium behaviour of R-1234ze (E) was studied in a series of binary pairs with carbon dioxide, R-32, R-125, R-134a, R-152a, R-161, propane and propylene over the temperature range −40 to +60° C., which encompasses the practical operating range of most refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The composition was varied over the full compositional space for each binary in the experimental programme, mixture parameters for each binary pair were regressed to the experimentally obtained data and the parameters were also incorporated into the REEPROP software model. The academic literature was next searched for data on the vapour liquid e uilibrium behaviour of carbon dioxide with the hydrofluorocarbons R-32, R-125, R-152a, R-161 and R-152a. The VIE data obtained from sources (referenced in the article Applications of the simple multi-flujd model to correlations of the vapour-liquid equilibrium of refrigerant mixtures containing carbon dioxide, by R. Akasaka, Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 159-168, 4, 1, 2009) were then used to generate mixing parameters for the relevant binary mixtures and these were then also incorporated into the REFPROP model. The standard REEPROP mixing parameters for carbon dioxide with propane and propylene were also incorporated to this model.

The resulting software model was used to compare the performance of selected fluids of the invention with R-407A in a low temperature supermarket refrigeration cycle simulation. The use of liquid injection to control compressor discharge temperature was included as a feature of this cycle. Liquid injection is recommended by compressor manufacturers and refrigerant suppliers if R-407A or R-22 is to be used in such applications.

The quantity of liquid required to maintain the compressor discharge gas at or below the dPsired maximum temperature was estimated by assuming that the liquid to be injected to the compressor was at the same thermodynamic state as the liquid leaving the condenser and by then performing a heat balance on the machine. The total compression work required was then derived from knowledge of the total mass flow through the compressor and the specified outlet and inlet refrigerant states.

The comparison of fluids was carried out assuming equivalent mean evaporating and condensing temperatures for the refrigerants, and fixed degrees of subcooling and evaporator superheat. Fixed pressure drops were assumed for R-407A in the evaporator, condenser and compressor suction gas line. The pressure drops for the fluids of the invention were then estimated for the same cycle by estimating the achieved compressor throughput with the fluid, deriving the mass flowrate of the refrigerant in the line and then calculating the pressure drop by comparison with the assumed pressure drop for the reference refrigerant.

To calculate the achieved compressor throughput for R-407A and the fluids of the invention, the compressor was assumed to be a piston type machine running at fixed speed and known piston displacement with an effective clearance volume ratio of 3% and an average adiabatic (isentropic) efficiency of 65%, operating at a constant compressor suction gas temperature of 20° C. The volumetric efficiency of the compressor was then estimated for each refrigerant from the pressure ratio developed over the compressor and the thermodynamic properties of the gas using the standard relationship for estimation of volumetric efficiency in such a machine.

The cycle conditions used were:

Mean condenser temperature ° C. 40 Mean evaporator temperature ° C. −30 Condenser subcooling K 5 Evaporator superheat K 5 Evaporator pressure drop bar 0.10 Suction line pressure drop bar 0.20 Condenser pressure drop bar 0.10 Compressor displacement m3/hr 18 Liquid injection temperature ° C. 130 Compressor suction temperature ° C. 20 Compressor clearance volume ratio  3% Compressor isentropic efficiency 65%

R-32/R-125/R-134a/R-1234ze(E) Blends

Using the model set out above, the performance of selected compositions of the invention containing 16 to 40% by weight R-32, 10 to 24% by weight R-125, 16 to 28% by weight R-134a and 8 to 56% by weight R-1234ze (E) is shown in Tables 3 to 34 below.

Modelled performance of R-404A, R-407C, R-407D and R-407F is shown in Comparative Table X immediately below.

It has been found unexpectedly that it is possible to achieve capacities comparable to those of R-404A or R-407F whilst operating at lower condensing pressures than either R-404A or R-407F and at comparable or lower pressure ratios than those achieved with R-407A and R-407F. In fact some compositions of the invention offer pressure ratios comparable to R-404A.

The incorporation of R-1234ze(E) to the fluid further allows a reduction of GWP of the mixture compared to the GWP of any of the R-407 fluids and compared to R-404A. R1234ze(E) is unsuitable in its own right for this application given its (relatively) high boiling point of −19° C. Surprisingly, therefore, it has proved possible to use significant quantities of R-1234ze(E) in the compositions of the invention without detrimental effect on the operating pressures of the fluids.

Therefore, the fluids of the invention offer highly unexpected significant improved environmental performance when compared to comparable known EEC refrigerants (e.g. R-407A, R407F and R-404a) on the grounds of:

-   -   Improved energy efficiency at comparable capacity     -   Improved volumetric efficiency and reduced pressure ratio     -   Reduced potential for leakage of refrigerant from the high         pressure lines of the system     -   Reduced direct GWP of the refrigerant

The currently most preferred fluids of the invention are those whose cooling capacity matches that of R-404A, whose condensing pressure is lower than that of R-404A and whose energy efficiency is higher than that of R-407A or R-407F when compared in this manner.

It should be noted that at evaporation temperatures typical of medium/high supermarket temperature refrigeration systems the above-stated performance gains are all maintained and thus the fluids are of applicability in all commercial refrigeration applications. In fact the performance of the fluids of the invention compared to R-404A is further improved at higher evaporation temperatures. In particular the COP of the fluids of the invention is found to be similar or better even than that of R-407C. The fluids of the invention can thus find application not only for low stage refrigeration but also for medium high stage refrigeration and air conditioning applications.

It has also been found possible with the compositions of the invention to exceed the performance of R-407D, a fluid which is used for certain refrigerated transport applications as an alternative to the CFC refrigerant R-500, for example if R-32 content in the range 16-20% is used. It is evident from the performance comparison that the capacity and COP of R-407D can be matched or bettered whilst maintaining compressor discharge pressure at or below that of R-407D. Thus the previously claimed benefits of the fluids are also achieved for this application.

R-32/R-161/R-134a/R-1234ze(E) Blends

Analysis of selected compositions of the invention containing 20 to 46% by weight R-32, 10 to 60% by weight R-161, 10 to 22% by weight R-134a and 8 to 60% by weight R-1234ze(E) was carried out using the same refrigeration cycle conditions as detailed above under Example 3. The results are shown in Tables 35 to 105 below (see Table n above for reference).

It is found unexpectedly that the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the fluids is not only higher than that of R-407A in the equivalent cycle conditions but is higher than that achievable with the R32/R125/R134a/R1234ze(E) fluids of the invention. The use of minor quantities of R-161 in place of R-125 allows further improvement of the energy efficiency (COP), further reduction of the GWP of the refrigerant, reduction in condenser operating pressure and reduction in the amount of R-32 required to give comparable cooling capacity. The fluids therefore offer similar performa.nce benefits as already stated. These fluids are especially attractive in applications and equipment where mild flammability of the refrigerant can be accepted.

R-32/R-161/R-125/R-1234ze(E) Blends

Analysis of selected compositions of the invention containing 16 to 40% by weight R-32, 10 to 30% by weight R-161, 10 to 25% by weiaht R-125 and 10 to 64% by weight R-1234ze(E) was carried out using the same refrigeration cycle conditions as detailed above under Example 3. The results are shown in Tables 106 to 124 below (see Table X above for reference).

Surprisingly, the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the fluids is higher than that of R-407 in the equivalent cycle conditions. The use of minor quantities of R-161 allows improvement of the energy efficiency (COP) and reduction of the GWP of the refrigerant. A reduction in condenser operating pressure and pressure ratio is also observed, alongside a reduction in the amount of R-32 required to give comparable cooling capacity. The fluids therefore offer similar performance benefits as previously stated. These fluids are especially attractive in applications and equipment where mild flammability of the refrigerant can be accepted.

The invention is defined by the claims.
